I was at a local Gun Show a month or so ago and one of the sellers had a C Grade Le Fever on his table in 10 Ga. ,The engraving and the wood were fantastic ,the bores were so clean they appeared to be honed ,the two reasons I passed on it were ,#1 Lack of knowledge about the gun and the second reason the barrels were an odd length 28 3/8 or there abouts and the outside of the " Fine Damascus Barrels " , were pitted beyond imagination ,which led me to beleive with the inside of the bores looking so nice the gun had really been messed with and again ,not knowing really anything about the early Le Fevers ,I passed ,very good wood and engraving in a C Grade 10 Ga. but very poor barrels ,what would you fellows in the know feel the gun would have been worth ?
